Cathay Pacific open Hong Kong The Cabin lounge

Cathay Pacific Airways has opened a new lounge at its home base of Hong Kong.

Described by Cathay Pacific as contemporary, refreshing and dynamic, it is a move onwards from the design of the original Pier lounge, which is now looking a bit careworn. Indeed The Cabin features a cutting edge design so much on the edge of ultra-modern it could also be called achingly trendy.

For all it's aspirations, the new lounge is separated into five fairly normal zones. Once past reception, there is a business centre (The IT Zone), a walk up food bar (The Deli zone), a long bar (The Health Bar Zone) and The Relaxing Zone - the new name for the trendy seating area, which features a blend of warm wood, bamboo, white marble and dark granite that builds on the airline's existing lounge palette, apparently.
